An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin or an incontinence guard, comprising a liquid-impermeable surface layer (1) which is remote from the wearer when the article is worn, a liquid- permeable surface layer (2) which faces towards the wearer in use, and an absorbent pad which is contained between the two surface layers. The inventive article is characterized in that the absorbent pad (3) is arched in its transverse direction, at least at its centre part, and therewith exhibits a convex surface (5) on the side of the pad which faces towards the wearer in use. Means are provided fo r preventing the smallest distance between the side edges (8, 9) of the pad (3) at its arched region from exceeding a given valu e which is smaller than the width of the liquid-permeable outer layer (2) in a flat state.
